GINGERBREAD SNICKERDOODLES – Soft and delicious cookies flavored with molasses, cinnamon and ginger, then rolled in sugar. These festive treats are perfect for the holidays.

Gingerbread Snickerdoodles (also known as Gingerdoodles) are a cross between a gingerbread cookie and a snickerdoodle. They have all the soft and chewy goodness you expect from snickerdoodles combined with the spices of classic gingerbread. They’re a perfect combination!

I tried these out for the first time, and I tell you what, these cookies did not disappoint. They were a huge hit with everyone in the house. Just the smell of them baking in the oven made my home feel so Christmassy.

I just happened to make Gingerbread Snickerdoodles while my daughter decorated a gingerbread house for her grandparents, and I think we may have started a new Christmas tradition. These fun and festive cookies would be a fabulous treat to share with friends and neighbors or bring to a holiday party.

Once the cookies have cooled completely, store them in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Serve them with a glass of cold milk.
